The rules about whiskey are remarkably precise.
Just like the spokes of a wheel
you’ll spin 'round with the rest
you’ll hear the drums and the brush of steel
you’ll hear the call of the west
call of the west.
From Waterhole #3
It’s the code of the west
You must honor your neighbor
The code of the west
To your own self be true
The code of the west
You must do unto others
Do unto others before they do it unto you
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends,
Oh, the farmer and the cowman should be friends.
One man likes to push a plow,
The other likes to chase a cow,
But that’s no reason why they can’t be friends.
This is fine and all, but I’m wondering what common drink in the West was stronger than whiskey. “Gimme a glass of your best lab-grade ethanol. And leave the flask.”
I am this close to buying a cowboy hat after reading those.
